Topic: Obnoxious Dogs (Read 70 times)

Anyone annoyed by the barking of neighborhood dogs? The situation is ridiculous in this neighborhood. I can recognize the bark of nine dogs within a 200 yard radius.

One neighbor actually told me his dog had a right to bark. Eased into letting him know that he or his dog doesn't have a right to prevent others from enjoying their property--something that has evolved from common laws.

This belief of dogs being able to freely bark seems to be rampant everywhere.

Sounds like you have approached the neighbor(s) already. If civil and open communication doesn't produce the peace and quiet we all deserve from our neighbors then hit them in the wallet. My neighborhood has a team of community service officers that will ticket homeowners if they witness/hear a dog barking and no one is home. If someone is home they will tell the dog owner that persistent barking can bring a fine. If your neighbors can't respect your peace and quiet see how much money they have before they start respecting it. I hope you have something like this to apply.
